| BMC Feature | Purpose |
|---|
| Temperature read, reset, and power on/off | - Monitors the chassis temperature by using different temperature sensor through an I2C sensor bus.
- Monitors the chassis various power supplies by using external voltage monitors accessible through I2C.
| | Memory store | Stores CRU data records in a non-volatile memory accessible through an I2C Sensor bus. | | Fan sub-system control | Controls the SBC 7000 Fan subsystem by monitoring each fan’s tachometer output and adjusting individual fan speed in response to chassis temperature changes. | | LED control | Controls the five Front panel LEDs. | | Alarm sub-system control | Not supported in current release. | | Integrated firmware upgrade | platform provides a mechanism for an integrated upgrade of the BIOS, BMC, and system PLDs firmware. This mechanism can be determined from the BMC GUI. | | Connection to remote management entities | Provides both serial and 10/100 Ethernet ports for connection to remote management entities. |
